Prolapse Treatment in Edmonds, WA
Pelvic organs prolapse is a condition that can occur at any age in women. When the muscles and tissues of the pelvic floor stretch and weaken to the point where the pelvic organs drop into the vagina, pelvic organ prolapse can occur. Additionally, factors such as heavy lifting, poor postural control, tight hip flexors, weak core muscles, constipation, and diastasis recti can also contribute to this condition.
A feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen or pelvis, urinary or fecal leakage (incontinence), constipation, pelvic pain, vaginal burning, incomplete voiding or residual dripping and pain during sexual intercourse are some common signs associated with this problem. At Lilly Physical Therapy, located in Edmonds, WA, we offer non-invasive Physical Therapy Solution For Prolapse.
Comprehensive Evaluation for Personalized Prolapse Treatment
It is essential to evaluate comprehensively in order to know the exact kind of prolapse and come up with a suitable treatment plan. Our physical therapist specialized in women’s health will appraise your posture, core strength, pelvic floor muscles as well as movement patterns so that we can identify any dysfunctions that are contributing towards your condition.
We also go through all your medical history, which include previous pregnancies delivered, surgeries done, lifestyle stressors or any other relevant information.
After the assessment findings have been reviewed, we create a therapy program tailored for you. Myofascial release techniques, muscle energy techniques, and contract relax among others are usually used manually during the treatment process to relax tight muscles and restore proper alignment.
Apart from prescribing pelvic exercises aimed at muscle strengthening while correcting optimal muscle activation patterns; there could be a need for electromagnetic field pelvic floor re-training, core stabilization exercises, postural correction, nutrition advice, pessary fitting, or neuromuscular re-education among other forms of intervention.
